SHORT DESCIIIPTI0:N^ of the TIDE-WATEli 

se(^tio:n^ of ]^orth carolin^a. 



This section includes the counties along the coast and on the tide- 
water streams. While it is admirably adapted to general farming, it 
is especially suited to trucking and small fruit growing. The climate 
is similar to that of southern France or Italy, or southern California, 
but diifers from the last chiefly in amount of rainfall, which is about 
60 inches, or three times that of southern California. The greatest 
fall of rain occurs in June, July and August, when most moisture is 
needed for truck crops. No country has a better distribution of rain 
than this. Some of the general farm crops are corn, cotton, tobacco, 
cowpeas, peanuts, oats, and hay. The principal truck and fruit crops 
are lettuce, strawberries, beets, cauliflower, snap beans, cucumbers, 
cantaloupes, w^atermelons, radishes, onions, peppers, okra, egg-plant, 
carrots, cabbage, spinach, turnips, tomatoes, asparagus, English peas, 
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, cranberries, figs, apples, grapes, 
plums, peaches and pears. In some instances from four to five crops 
are grown on the same land in one season. From one town in this 
section we have the following record : "Coldest average month in 
twenty-four years, 47 degrees above zero, and the warmest average 
month during same period 80 degrees." The winters are tempered 
by the nearness of the Gulf Stream, while the summers are cool, on 
account of the proximity of the ocean, sounds, rivers and creeks. At 
seashore resorts within this territory many visitors from other States 
come, both winter and summer, for health and pleasure. 

Stock raising can be made profitable in this mild climate, as but 
little, if any, protection is needed in winter. Good woods pasture can 
be had all the year. Within this territory are the droves of celebrated 
Banker ponies, which are herded only to be branded or sold. No pro- 
tection or feed is given them, either winter or summer. They live 
entirely pn woods and marsh pastures. Poultry raising can be made 
profitable. There are many square miles of sounds, rivers and creeks, 
abounding in fish, oysters and game. Commercial fishing and oyster- 
ing is one of its chief industries. With the advantages of such water- 
ways a low freight rate is insured, and quick transportation to the 
Northern markets can be secured from most sections. Here, too, are 
large bodies of timber, and the lumber interests of this section are 
probably greater than those of any other portion of the State. 

Following will be found a list of farms offered for sale. For fur- 
ther information in regard to them please write the owmers, whose 
names and addresses follow the descriptions. For information, re- 
garding any other section of the State write
